Emily Weston
Harry's youngest daughter, Emily, is a free-spirited college student who spends the bulk of the series away at college before returning home for awhile during season five. She is quickly established as an adventurous globe-trotter who has traveled all over the world. Stopping by the house after a stay in Vietnam, Harry persuades her to stick around.
If one word would describe Emily, it would probably be "independent." She
isn't too quick to conform to Harry's fatherly ways when arriving, and he is
somewhat surprised at the twenty-three-year-old's actions, yet respects her
right to make her own decisions. No matter what she does (staying out till
4am, or worse...putting college on hold and going to Vietnam without alerting
the family), Emily always manages to stay on Harry's good side and can almost
get away with anything. Harry even finds it cute when she calls him by his first
name!
Despite being a little mischievous, Emily does have a level head on
her shoulders. She is a sort of mix between her two sisters: she's fun and
free-spirited like Barbara and intelligent like Carol; her worldy travels have
given her an ability to speak several languages. 
Emily's
cheerful disposition and seemingly perfect life tends to depress Carol, who
calls Emily the "personal pet project of God." Carol looks down on Emily's
fun-loving lifestyle, saying that she is the baby of the family and doesn't know
any better, and often tries to instill in her a higher sense of maturity. But
self-assured Emily, who is actually retty mature already, isn't thwarted by
her big sister's nagging.
Emily's brief time on the show
doesn't give the character a chance to truly develop. By the start of season six
she is off to school again.
